I echo Mike's feelings. I'm one of those who, upon learning
of the sudden and last-minute development at WISDOT, pushed for
immediate construction on the east (to the consternation of others in
the bicycling community) so as not to lose money available now and
possibly have a long delay in getting anything done. Also on the
wisdom and counsel of a very good friend, a retired WISDOT engineer,
who, after reviewing the proposals, told me: "In bike path design,
often times perfect is the enemy of the good. The most important
thing is to get something built. We can always fix it later." Looks
like from what Mike says, WISDOT is now going to fix it sooner than
later, which is really good from our standpoint.

the east connector.
Thanks from me to all of you who cared.
